Dinner after my daughter’s Confirmation was so good! I have had 3 christenings, 3 communions and now 2/3 Confirmation parties here. We love the food here and I grew up coming here. Their party package CANNOT BE BEAT. Includes choice of entree, potato, vegetables, appetizers bruschetta, cold antipasto, HOT antipasto, pasta course & salad! The best food and the best value for a party anywhere around. Frank and everyone there are so nice and will do everything needed to accommodate you and your guests. Can’t wait until my next party!

We went there for my God Daughters Nursing Graduation Party. Great Italian food. We've gone there for many family functions and party's. 3/5/2026 We went there for a dinner to honor our late Mom & Dad. I had Pumpkin🎃 Ravioli. It was Fantastic. Try them, you'll love them. 😋

Could I give 10 stars? The food is amazing and so is the staff! We always order food for catering when we have birthday parties! It’s not costly at all and the quality of the food never disappoints!

Nice place for a good dinner. Large portions. Friendly staff. Clean. And they have a good tomato sauce. We had the seafood platter which was loaded with lobster, shrimp, scallops, calamari, and chicken parmesan. Both were very good. We also had dessert. It's a family-type restaurant that gets pretty busy on the weekends. Also, it gets pretty loud, like getting together with your whole family for Sunday sauce!

Amazing service, food, and relatively quick. Great value for lunch too, best in the area for Italian (especially, for fish dishes).

Glad I discovered this place while looking for dinner at 9pm. Great food and beautiful ambience. The welcome bread and bruschetta were delicious. The stuffed eggplant was tasty - skip/share if you want to save your appetite. The tortellini with mushrooms and peas was heavenly, and waiting for it to cool down was hard! Got the gnocchi in oil and garlic for a vegetarian option and that was good too. Friendly service. Parking behind the restaurant and on the street

Had a wonderful time and the food was fabulous for the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding day. Happy Honeymoon to Cory and Gabby Cigas.

Great Family Restaurant. I had Brushetta, hot and cold Antipast, Chicken Francese and Penne in Vodka. EVERYTHING was delicious. I went here for a Baby Sprinkle, it was so good I'm planning a return trip.

What's not to like? Where can you go for a $15 and have soup, 2 salads, 25+ entrees, 4 desserts and coffee or tea before 5PM. Food is good, many choices for your dining pleasures. Service is attentive. They have a parking lot with ample street parking. A good bargain. They do offer daily specials for double the price with much less. Byob.

The food was very good and the service was great! The only complaint I have is I thought all the flies flying around was disgusting! I didn't even want to think what their kitchen was like! Please do something about the flies!!

I had difficulty parking upon arrival, not knowing there was a small restaurant entrance at the back street. The place was quite noisy due to a live music party in one area. This local Italian restaurant offers good appetizers. I ordered chicken parmigiana, but found the sauce a bit too acidic.

Flies in my food, feel sick to my stomach, service felt like they were janitors rather than waiters, a total embarrassment of a restaurant that belongs on one of those restaurants rehab shows. Guaranteed everything is sitting in buckets pre made hours before you show up, wish I could get it out of me. PS - check out this view of the bathroom, blech
